Expression:
Q16611 BAK_HUMAN:

Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the heart and skeletal muscle.

Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form oligomers or heterodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein localizes to mitochondria,and functions to induce apoptosis. It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel,which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. This protein also interacts with the tumor suppressor P53 after exposure to cell stress.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptosic process. Upon arrival of cell death signals, promotes mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization by oligomerizing to form pores within the MOM. This releases apoptogenic factors into the cytosol, including cytochrome c, promoting the activation of caspase 9 which in turn processes and activates the effector caspases.

Tissue Specificity:

Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the heart and skeletal muscle.

Family&Domains:

Intact BH3 motif is required by BIK, BID, BAK, BAD and BAX for their pro-apoptotic activity and for their interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family.

Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
